Sparse notes for most of the wines and all based on my own personal perceptions without attributing too much importance to the scientific analysis.
Good fruit, refreshing acidity. A rounder, more powerful full boded type of wine with a lot of tropical fruit and atypical from other C-Charlemagnes. 91-93p

Flowery, fruity and zesty nose. Nice mouth feel with elegance and fine balance. New oak comes through at this stage but overall this is a very fine C-Ch also this year. One of my favorites and very consistenly so from previous en primeurs, 92-94p

Delicate nose with nice fruit and a light oak scent. Very good balance and fruit. Tried a second time and the acidity is relatively low so maybe an early drinking one. A great wine, highly recommended. Will try and find some of this. 92-93p

Mineral, green apples and a very high acidity. Might be good in the long run but is there enough fruit to balance the high acidity? Very appealing nonetheless but needs time to come round. 91-94 range.

Fresh with nice minerality. Finely balanced with relatively low acidity, Should be an early drinking wine. 89-90p

Another step up in quality but rather similar to Boudriotte in style but with more minerality. Good fruit and acidity, Very well balanced with a long finish. A very fine wine but maybe not as good as some previous vintages, has a bit less of that zing and minerality it usually has in store like for 2014 and 2010 (judging from my old notes) 90-91p. I can see the critics are ranking this higher than I did which is probably fair. Needs time in the bottle.

Fruity nose with a touch of oak. In the mouth a nice mix of fruit and balanced levels of acidity. A very fine wine but not as good as in 2014.

Shy nose. In the mouth sharp acidity, nice minerality but also some heat showing.

Relatively opulent fruit, apples, honey, dense aromas, oaky but not over the top, nice complexity. Round filling but with structure. Just fantastic and accessible. All other whites pale in comparison. A treat to taste. 94-95 p.

Lovely fresh acidity, crushed stones and green apples nose. Lively,vibrant and one of the very best whites today +++! Have I tasted a different wine than NM who gave it a meager 86-88?
My own range would be 92-94p

Pleasant nose with citrus and tropical fruit, apricots. Very good fruit and acidity to bring freshness. Long balanced finish. Quite like. One of the better whites tonight 91-93p.

Lightly perfumed nose with apricots and tropical fruit. Very well balanced and nice mouth feel. 90-92p
Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Report Issue
Apples, pears with aromatic elegance. Not as filling as expected but rather refined to say the least. Lighter bodied than the Montrachet from Bouchard. Way overpriced though. 92-94p for potential.

Great energetic expressive nose of red berries and red currants. Soft with refreshing acidity. Very good balance and almost drinkable now but give it another 4-5 years to improve more. Best Village wine in show? 90-92p

Again a beautiful villages wine! Seductive fruit, lovely balance and lightness. Her best villages I have ever tasted over the last 4-5 years as en primeur. As a general remark, not just for Barthod wines, the difference between the Villages wines and the single vineyard wines is a lot smaller than anything I have tasted. 90-92p

Very nice nose with pure fruit. More astringent than the Baudes. Seemed much more closed and for me, very hard to judge even though I presume it will develop nicely with time. Maybe a lot of time required? 90-94 range?

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Very closed nose, earthy but with very nice fruit underneath the tannin and high acidity. Suprised to see how much more accessible and seductive the 2014 was at this early stage. Having bought this in the past I had high expectations that were not quite fulfilled. In all fairness it's maybe more a question of misguided expectations? Equally my notes don't have much resemblance with the pro reviews so I'm wondering if this could be an off bottle? 91-92p
